A Small [8gig] Pleasure

About a year ago, friend and reader, Technolust bought an 8gig Flash Drive. I was quite envious of the acquisition; however I was not willing to part with the 80$ for a new drive. I decided that I would have to wait until the prices came down enough that I felt it was a worth while purchase. Last week, thanks to NewEgg, I bought the Patriot Xporter for about 35$.

I have to say it is nice to have enough room to carry software packages I recommend and install on my clients computers. i even have all the Apple “Get a Mac” ads and half a dozen of the Heroes Graphic Novels. However, Technolust filled up her flash drive in about 2 weeks. I don’t have any idea what she has on that thing; but I am sure it is important.

If you hit my mac/pc pics pages you will get an idea of what I am carrying around on my flash drive.

Thunderbird & FireFox, ClamXav, AVG Free, TrueCrypt [Win & Mac], Filezilla, 7-Zip . . . etc.

    Good on you, congratulations! I have noticed the price of the 8 GBs going down. Sometimes that’s the price to pay for technolust, to be the first to have something before anyone else (well, your group of friends anyway) :-). And for the record, at this moment I have 3 GB free space available to me on my drive :-). So I’m getting better.
